    Chickpea Curry & Quinoa
    Made this last night...delicious!!

    1 cup quinoa
    1/2 onion diced
    3 carrots diced
    3 Garlic cloves
    Chicken broth
    1 cupDiced tomatoes ( can or fresh)
    2 cans chickpeas
    2 tbs curry
    1 tsp turmeric
    Red pepper
    Salt/pepper to taste
    1-2 tb olive oil
    1/3c Greek yogurt

    Sauté onion, garlic & carrot until translucent. Add seasonings & stir for a few minutes. Add tomatoes, chickpeas & broth...bring to a boil. Add quinoa. Cover & simmer for 20 min or until liquid is absorbed. I added more curry & turmeric at the end....add to taste. i also ended up adding more broth to get the texture of the quinoa to my liking. Add yogurt & serve. Approx 450 calories for 4 servings. Good protein & fiber!

    Makes ~24 Bites

    1 cup cooked quinoa
    1 large egg
    1/4 cup chopped onion
    1 cup finely chopped cooked chicken
    1/4 cup buffalo sauce (we used Frank's)
    1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
    1/2 cup panko bread crumbs

    salt and pepper to taste

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    2. Mix together all ingredients.
    3. Distribute mixture into a greased mini muffin tin,
    filling each cup to the top (1 heaping Tbs each), and press down gently to compact.

    Black beans and quinoa - first recipe ever with it. My husban said I can make it every night. Supper easy and can be used as a main meal.

    I just made this, I'm eating it right now. Seriously yummy!


    I make one like this but I throw in some ground turkey, diced tomato/salsa, and sliced bell pepper. mmm! I don't have a recipe but it's almost impossible to mess up. I just cook the turkey and quinoa separately first then mix it all together and simmer :)

    If you have never tried it and you decide to and find you don't care for it. just add it along with your rice or bean dishes

    1 cup cooked (which is 1/3 cup uncooked quinoa) mashed/mixed with 1 can of tuna, then brown in a pan for a few minutes. IT'S ACTUALLY YUMMY!

    I also like to make quinoa cakes for snacks and breakfasts (based off of this recipe http://www.includingcake.com/2013/03/quinoa-power-breakfast-cakes.html ), which is basically quinoa, a mashed up banana, and a bit of flour. I like to put peanut butter on top after they've cooked so they're not overly banana-y.
